areaseven Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) With the original MW Automotive thread out of commission, it's time to start a new one. Let's begin with this question: What car do you drive? Post some pics if applicable. Here's mine: 2005 Ford Mustang V6 Deluxe - "Belldandy" Edited June 5, 2006 by areaseven

the white drew carey Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 91 Honda Civic LX 5-speed 4-door sedan. Blue. about 90,000 miles. Lotsa stickers on the back (mostly bands) and the sides are a little dinged. Ummm... what happened to the other thread? How did it "die?"
areaseven Posted March 28, 2006 Author Posted March 28, 2006 The old thread went to The Hall of the Super Threads, along with a lot of other super threads. Anyway, carry on.
yellowlightman Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 anybody know if there are any REALLY good mods for the Yaris/Vitz? 384798[/snapback] Yeah, the best mod is DON'T. C'mon man, it's a freaking econo box. Spend your money elsewhere. I have two cars, an '86 RX7 and a '92 Civic 4door.

emajnthis Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 alas my car is dead (second one to bite the dust), so i'm still looking into either a cheap sedan that i can get for a couple grand, or just bite the bullet and buy an AWD SUV... but with my son due in about two weeks, i think i'm going to just hold off on everything for a bit.
Stamen0083 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 (edited) 1996 Acura Integra Sedan. First car I ever truly love. Lowered and has a bigger exhaust tip. All done by the previous owner, though I think it was done pretty tastefully. Sounds pretty nice, I think. Everything works. Recently got the correct OEM floormats to complement the interior. I love it. Edited March 28, 2006 by Stamen0083
emajnthis Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Honestly, that is the only Integra i would purchase if i could find one. A hardtop four door (as dumb as that sounds) because it's fast enough to pull out into traffic, carries the kids, blind spots aren't ridiculous and there's head room. When i owned my GSR everyone thought it was awesome while i couldn't wait for something evil to happen to it (thank goodness it did, and thankfully it wasn't my fault). I would have traded my GSR for your four door anyday, you have quite a find there.
GreenGuy42 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 96 Mustang GT Bought it in near new shape, and baby the thing as much as I can... ...until next year, when I buy my Cobra...
Stamen0083 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I would have traded my GSR for your four door anyday, you have quite a find there. 384842[/snapback] Thanks. I love this car so much. It's pretty agile and has room to fit people too. Only thing is that it's an RS (Integra base model), and it's automatic. I would like to stick a Type R engine in there or something, or at least swap out the transmission if it's doable, but it's all dreams for now until I have the money for it.
emajnthis Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Automatic trans aside, that car is going to drive forever; personally just keep it the way it is, if you want a fast car, buy a car with the proper platform.
Stamen0083 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 New wheels would be nice, don't you think? I want the stock late model GSR blade wheels. Actually, I really want the Type R wheels, but Type R has a five point bolt pattern. Regular Integra have four points. But yeah, I intend to keep this car, even after I get a new one.
David Hingtgen Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 '99 Grand Prix GTP. (with brand new supercharger drive belt) All my "when it was new and shiny" pics were taken with a 35mm, so I don't really have any to post. And I'm NOT going to post my recent "scratches from gravel avoiding a head-on collision with a deer" pics...

Beltane70 Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I currently drive a 1996 Nissan Sentra GXE 5-speed with just over 205,000 miles on it. It still rides nicely, and I'm also proud of the fact that the car still has the original clutch!

My LeBaron's fated to die at the local 1/2 mile short track in a few months once I have the Yaris....
Rocket Punch Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 My ex left me because I drive a charcoal '89 Celica ST. She wanted me to buy new but I'm like, "Baby, you knew I loved old Toyotas before we started dating. I mean, you didn't complain about my '89 Corolla DX and it had over 289,000 miles on it and looked like it'd been through Gulf War I and Gulf War II!" She thought I'd consider upgrading after driving the Rolla into the ground but was disappointed when I showed up one night with my Celica. Best $800 I ever spent, I tells ya. Then she's all like, "Dammit. It's either me or your damned Toyotas!" Suffice it to say, we don't date anymore. But I love and miss her and I left her a note on her car last week. Judge says I'm not allowed in Alhambra anymore.

Capt Hungry Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I'll soon be driving a 2006 Volvo V50 T5. Not very sporty, but practicality is important at the moment.
Rocket Punch Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I've always loved the 5.0. Especially the DX. It and the GT are basically the same car only minus all the extra body trim, right?

fearyaks Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 A7 - I like your ride. I remember making a low comment about new Mustangs and I apologize. Anyway, here's my new ride - And below is what paid for it. Can't put car seats into a '65.

areaseven Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 A7 - I like your ride. I remember making a low comment about new Mustangs and I apologize.385240[/snapback] Hey, that's cool. It's too bad you had to give up your '65. I guess it couldn't be helped, given that family comes first. One of these days, when I finally pay off my Mustang and earn enough money, I'll go take up car restoration as a hobby and pick up an old Mustang.
areaseven Posted March 29, 2006 Author Posted March 29, 2006 BTW, where are Vostok 7 and Commander McBride? We need some WRXs around here. And Shawn, still got your 240Z?
yellowlightman Posted March 29, 2006 Posted March 29, 2006 Holy crapola trueblueeyes, I didn't realize you had that many cars. Post some pics when you get a chance, I'd love to see your Mach 1.
